Virgin Free Fest returning to Merriweather

They can  replace the DJ stage with a line-up of artists from HammondBeat, Tru Thoughts, Truth and Soul, Daptone Records, etc labels.  Since, quite frankly the Retro Funk scene is the only one happening at the moment. And of course let me DJ between act  ;D

^I like this idea.

Stream is up on the site! 15 minutes to go.

aren't you the guy that was the total asshole about the free 30th Anniversary show?

you know, I have never censored or banned anyone in the entire history of this forum

you might be the first

I'm pretty sure STP, Joan Jett, and Temper Trap are playing, and I'd bet they throw in Slash.

Phoenix is on the West Coast the day before.

Do message board members get a pre-free ticket chance like the 30th anniversary or is it just the email-blast pre-sale?

I wanna see Temper Trap again just for the comedy. Dude's vocals make me laugh.

Geez, man no offense meant to YOU. I also said the 30th anninversary show lineup was good once i saw the whole lineup. And I raved about the actual show and the staff after attending.



I love, love, love Joan Jett.

I hate Pavement, FNM and Soundgarden. Just not my thing. I'm allowed to call them crappy if I don't like them, right? Please don't take it personally. If you booked all three of them, I wouldn't complain.

And though the WARPED thing is not my thing, it's not my thing because I'm closer to retirement age than I am being a teenager.

Insulting free things isn't cool.  If it were 100 dollars I would say you could feel free but because it's no cost and you don't even know the line-up I would be happy that someone is doign this for us. 

look at the minions bow down in fear of the mighty sethy.  how sad.  censorship or banning just because somebody has an opinion about something . . . just finally proved what kind of place this really is.  maybe we do need a fillmore.

Last year I think previous ticket buyers got an email. That allowed for 15 minutes (at least that because my friend got in late) or so to purchase you're tickets instead of like 90 seconds.

Seth is probably anxious, that's it…don't worry Seth, we'll love the line up no matter what  ::)

what it changed to an hour and 59 minutees????? >:( ??? :'( :'(

I didn't care about most of the bands last year, but ended up having a fantastic time. it was great to see the few bands I did care about seeing and to lounge around in the shade (and the bar) with friends.  As long as I am able to get tickets, I plan on going this year as well, regardless of the lineup.

Just what kind of place is this? Do tell.

Ugh, I'm so jealous of Richard Branson's life.

Branson on this 'Virgin Mobile Live" about to announce, but telling about his FABULOUS vacation and life first (kite surfing, tennis, etc.).
